Rangers Motherwell Scottish Cup was also on. The TV situation was fine and staff fairly attentive. However despite a crowd of over 100 people at least, they were not serving any food, not even a peanut or a crisp. The explanation was that "oh during the week unless its a really big game, we dont do food", How typically Scottish and how lazy. Can you imagine a sports bar in London or any US city not at least having, chips, chicken wings, nachos or something ? How stupid is the owner of this business ? You've got 100 people drinking, who would love to snack on some food or get a burger and you cant be bothered to put 1 person on to cook something ? An embarassment and one reason people laugh at the backward habits of provincal British Cities. went there on a Weds night to watch the Spurs Newcastle Carling Cup Match.

One word of dissent though, please please don't refer to God Save the Queen as the English anthem.
